Cars R OK, but what kind of motorcycle do you have


The thread about what AudiogoNers drive is fun to see, but I was wondering what kind of motorcycles are represented by the crazy people here? I know this has been discussed a little on other threads, but If we can slip this by the censors, it might be fun.

I have a Victory V92C. It's a few years old now, but it still a fun cruiser!

What about you?

Just a plain old boring 1990 *BMW K100RS, solid as a brick, fairly lofty, heavy, staid, adequate and ............boring. The only motorcycle that one can fall asleep on. Dream hooligan tool is a Triumph speed triple.

*add a turbo and surprise the plastic fantastic brigade (well, in a straight line anyway).
Ducati's are to bikes as Ferrari's are to cars. They look gorgeous and oooh lala (as they say in France), but, to unreliable, sorry, I think you maybe ok for the first 10000*** miles, but after that, at the least a top end rebuild is looming. First sign of a gray cloud and they rust as only Italian machinery can. Now if Ducati could match BMW or Honda for reliability and quality of parts, then I am sure they would sell more. IMO.
***If you are Carl Foggarty then full engine rebuild after 60/80 miles!!lol
Ps What ever happened to the US dominance of the GP's in days of old?
because its better to focus on ripping off their presumably rich customers for $1000 oil changes, under the guise of a "12,000 mile service"

Never seen a Duke with 12k on the clock, well not working anyways,lol. Dukes have got that premature whizzbang factor.
